About this property

Tomatea Rua - Golden Bay Bach (Pakawau Beach)

Tomatea Rua is a 3 bedroom beachfront Pakawau Beach bach. This bright and cosy bach enjoys a serene beachfront setting with bush surrounds, offering the perfect place to get away from it all!

This Pakawau Beach bach includes laid back open plan living that leads onto the deck... Set yourself up in the sun, relax, and enjoy a BBQ with a view to the beach!

There are 3 bedrooms at this Golden Bay accommodation. Bedroom 1 opens onto the deck and is fitted with a queen bed, bedroom 2 is fitted with 2 single beds, and bedroom 3 is fitted with a single bed plus a double bunk set.

Set against the backdrop of the spectacular Kahurangi National Park, this casual bach is the perfect base to explore the rugged splendour of Golden Bay or simply to sit back and relax. You are moments from the beach with plenty of room for the kids to play in the garden and for the rainy days... a table tennis table!

Kick back at the beach or head out for adventure, Tomatea Rua welcomes you!

Please note there is no WiFi at this property.

As the property has unfenced access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

All guests should take extra care on the deck as there is no barrier to prevent falls.

Good location and cosy house but terrible beds/mattresses

We enjoyed the house and location but dreaded going to bed! Noisy, uncomfortable bed and mattresses ruined half the holiday. Ended up getting stiff neck and back pain instead of complete relaxation. Otherwise, the location is fantastic and so is the property. Bachcare host was friendly and very helpful. We would love to visit again once beds, mattresses are upgraded.

Great bach getaway, away from the crowds.

Spacious bach, clean and tidy. Great quiet place to base ourselves to explore the area. Beautiful location, just a shame its not really a swimming beach. Otherwise it was a great place to relax.

Great beachfront location, mattresses need replacing

After a bit of trial and error to find the correct driveway to the bach (it was hidden by a large flax bush), we arrived a very clean and tidy bach. All the kitchen amenities were on offer and there was no shortage of space to spread out. Our one negative was that the mattresses in all but the master suite are in dire need of replacement. They may do for young children but are not suitable for adults. Would highly recommend this property so long as the mattresses are replaced.

New , clean property with easy access to beach.

New , clean property with easy access to beach. Lovely peaceful rural area. Some difficulty with internet connection. Would like to suggest adding a microwave and dishwasher for convenience and better quality pillows, but table tennis great and also the barbeque!
